OK. Thank you for confirming my understanding. In GuixSD, we actually use elogind [1] instead of systemd for session tracking. This requires us to patch the NetworkManager source to use elogind instead of systemd libraries. For example, we do this sort of patching successfully when packaging polkit [2]. I tried the same thing with NetworkManager [3], but it didn't quite work out. There are a lot of references to systemd in NetworkManager, and I think I'm just not familiar enough with NetworkManager, systemd, or elogind to know for sure what needs to be patched to trick NetworkManager into using elogind instead of systemd for session management. For now, we've committed the package definition as-is, but until somebody figures out exactly how to patch it to work with elogind, users must use the previously mentioned work-around (make the connection available to all users) if they want to enable automatic connection. Thank you again for your help. Hopefully soon we'll figure out how to get NetworkManager working with elogind in GuixSD!
